In Paradise, Pennsylvania, Cate Miller is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Her sweet and flirty sister, Betsy, on the other hand, seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County!

But the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard-and-fast rule: older Cate must marry first, before younger Betsy can even start courting. Unfortunately, untamable Cate has driven away every suitor-until Pete Treger comes to town, that is.

Prodded by the men of the area, Pete turns his attention to winning Cate's hand. But is his interest true or is there a scheme at play?

This is book 1 in The Courtships of Lancaster County series.

My Opinion

Many Amish books I have read kind of mix all together and are the same story line! Courting Cate is NOT! And that is what I loved about it!

It is truly the Amish version of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and Leslie Gould tells the story so cleverly! It held me attention the whole book and made want to keep reading even though I most likely knew the outcome!

It was fun, romantic, and written really well and I definitely recommend this book for all readers! And if you are a fan of Amish books like I am but are looking for something a little different to hold your interest, get Courting Cate today! It is one of the best Amish books I have ever read!
